Who are you longing for?

18 years ago

Hmm. I've been peeking around, and not that I have a bizillion clems or anything but I love them. THis year I have vowed to get the one's named again that my son thought he'd help by bringing me the "white sticks mommy"

So I decided that there are a few I wouldn't mind adding this year if possible.

So any of you all that have any of these let me know how you feel.

Omoshiro

Yamato

Fujimusume

Laura

Debutante

and the one I think I may want the most is Westerplatte. I have no reds.

Anyone buy Ember from Silver Star last year.

    Laura, I hope you'll be able to find Westerplatte, it has very rich coloring and a velvety sheen. I have Omoshiro as a container plant sitting in my solarium and soon ready to burst into bloom, can hardly wait!

    Bourbon

    Caroline

    Claire de Lune ... and probably three or four others!

    He brought her the labels from the Clematis...so she doesn't know who is who

    I bought Ember from Silver Star last year but it hasn't bloomed yet. I also long for Omoshiro.

    My daughter brought me Prince Charles from Calgary last week, but couldn't find Betty Corning. I'm hoping I might find BC and maybe huldine locally once the garden centres are stocked...probably another week or 2.

    yes that is right, my son broght me all the clematis labels and about 50 hosta labels. Thank goodness I took pics of the hosta last year and where they were growing.

    I have Betty Corning and if you don't find her I can try to root some up for you. I will also keep my eye out locally... SOmetimes the HD has them in small pots..

    I've been looking at Westerplatte for years, along with Monte Cassino, Rosemoor, and now Ruutel and Voluceau...cannot make a decision here on these. I love the reds! If you get it, please let us know how you like it.

    My current wish list (focus on purples):
    Blue Ravine
    Gipsy Queen
    Honora
    Mikelite

    I'm still longing for Tie Dye. If my Mme Julia Correvon doesn't come back from the dead I'm going to have a really hard time deciding whether to get Tie Dye or get another MJC. MJC was a great performer last year, and it was only its first year.

    Esperanto http://www.clematisinfo.nl/1024_768/

    It wasn't available in the US last year. Who knows when it will arrive in the states.

  • 18 years ago

    Yes, Tie Dye would have to come home with me too if I found it locally.

    *Laura, sent you a private message.

    I have 35 already, but only 21 are vigorous and the others are either too young, in the wrong location and just plain not doing well! This week I purchased Alionushka, Prince Charles, Margaret Hunt and Huldine. When I buy clems, I know what colour I want, where to put them (usually), blooming time, height and pruning style. I bought 3 to replace the ones I lost this winter and two for new locations. But we all know, that when you want a particular clem, you will find a spot somewhere or keep it in a container. It drives my husband crazy.
